Wondering how to edit this U.S. City Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Cities standards might help.

[edit] Was this copied from a promotional brochure or something?

Although as far as I can tell this article hasn't been copied from another website, the rather non-neutral language used ("beautiful mountains", "award-winning golf courses" etc etc etc) in most of it makes it sound like it was written as an advertisement. The bulk of this article and its flowery text seem to have been added in huge swaths by one or two people, so it might be wise for somebody to proofread the entire thing and make it sound more factual and less like we're being pitched a timeshare. 4.226.111.233 01:34, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

No this was not copied from brochure. It is actually a work by a few people that have gathered info, both positive and negative, over the last year. The pictures I took myself and donated them to wikipedia. If you want to dispute something, feel free to change it and add your source. Until then lighten up on the criticism. The truth is that this is a "gorgeous" and "award-winning" golf and recreational village. 70.178.120.190 17:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

The term "award-winning" is indicative of objective and documented fact. The word "gorgeous", however, is rather subjective, as beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Without discrediting the work on the article thus far, it should be noted that the goal for this and other encyclopedia articles is to convey minimal to no opinion. — ArkansasTraveler 19:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination
This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

  • the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
  • the article has multiple overlapping problems.
  • the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.
